Pole Position Raceway

The only reason I’m giving this three stars is so that I don’t Slaughter the review score. I’m a 27 year old male and I took my life to this place to do some indoor karting. We couldn’t even get in the door because so many young men were loitering on the stairs and on the ramp and by the front door. We stopped and looked for a way inside but nobody was seeming to want to budge while sitting on the entryway stairs and blocking the doors and it definitely gave off an uncomfortable vibe like you needed to be on the inside crew to come karting. I give the business a bad review for this because it is their job to make sure that people feel comfortable walking into their place of business.

Great for family fun! Big space and prices are moderate. 4 people will cost you about 120.

Great for a competitive family. We love this place.

Every time we go to Vegas we do this activity. We were shocked (no pun intended) that the carts are electric. Amazing torque and power. Had a nice discussion with the manager there a sell. She is a Wyotech graduate and a smart young lady. The tracks are fun, the carts are fun, and in the big scheme of things somewhat inexpensive.

My Boys really like it here! Racing and arcades! Can’t go wrong with it! Plus it’s inside from the elements and they are electric! No more sucking down nasty fumes!

We went here with our 10 and 13 year old sons while visiting family in Las Vegas. There is hardly any wait and the course is much more fun and longer than the Tampa Bay Grand Prix that we visited in July. Our 10 yo was in the junior race. He has more confidence now since this is his 2^nd time to race. Our 13 year old did pretty well considering he was racing against adults. He was not last. They have a few arcade games that my niece enjoyed with my younger son while waiting for the adults to race. The staff here is super friendly and helpful. We would definitely be back when we are in Las Vegas.

Great location to practice my racing in between events. Almost never busy and it’s great to get some clean laps in compared to the Arville location. The manager (I believe his name is Trevar) consistenly makes sure I am satisfied and always offers to put me in a run group by myself or solely with my friends, which I greatly appreciate. Top notch service and the carts seem to all be very well maintained. *The* preferred carting place in Las Vegas for me and my circle of racing friends.

My friends and I love this place. Not to mention when you check in on Facebook you get a free Monster Energy Drink. Price is a little high but we have a membership so it’s decently affordable. Also can’t complain about $ 40 unlimited races on Tuesday from 6pm to 10pm. Staff is friendly, helmets are pretty clean and karts or maintained pretty well. You can’t ask for more when you can race in the middle of summer in air conditioning. I used to go to Fast Lap since they are gas operated karts but in the middle of summer where it’s over 100 degrees their indoor swamp coolers make it uncomfortable.
We love this place and we love coming here to pass time.

We paid $ 25 to ride 12 laps. I don’t think they counted accurately because we were literally done within 10 mins top. What a rip off!

Love this place!!! I felt welcome as I

I recently had a birthday party at the Pole Position for my son, it was the best birthday party ever. The staff was very friendly and handled our every need. The kids had so much fun and can not wait to go back again.
We have had many birthday parties at various places in town but none of them have measured up to the party at the Pole Position. There was comfortable seating for the adults including A television which was set on sports center for the guys. They have plenty of arcade games the kids played while there was down time between races. The staff took care of ordering the pizza, made sure we had everything we needed for our party including A freezer for our ice cream.
As for the racing, it’s addicting! The karts are so fast and so much fun. Even I can’t wait to go back.
Thanks, Pole Position staff, we will see you soon.

This place is very dangerous when there are lots of drivers and there usually is. Not worth a severe neck and back injury. I had a guy plow into me after the race. And the kicker they serve Alcohol so there are drunks racing with you!

Time and time again is place seems to have inconsistencies with their policies. When we showed up today, we saw the «text club» advertisement. I texted the club and got an offer for a free race. As soon as you take it up to redeem, they tell you it’s not good today because it’s a weekend. There’s nothing in the text that says it’s not valid on weekends (see photo of the text below). It’s poor management to offer customers free stuff and not post a disclaimer.

My girls (ages 8 and 10) attended a summer camp session here. They loved it! The younger one started out very tentative and the people there worked with her and she was able to become much more comfortable and confident in the kart (and cut her time in half!). The played games, drove the karts and just had an overall great time. Wonderful way to spend a few days in the summer. I hope they do some on the kids school holidays! We will be back for sure.

This place was totally empty and they still would not allow me to race with my son. Said it was corporate policy on weekends. We will never be back as I don’t do business with stupid companies.
Hopeful the business that replaces Pole Position after it closes will uses more intelligence!

Tucked off Tenaya in Summerlin, this Pole Position doesn’t get the love that the Flamingo/​Arville location does. This place is dead and according to the staff, it’s always dead here. But that is what makes this Pole Position, 5 stars in my book. Once you try Pole Position, all other go-​kart places just doesn’t compare. Pole Position is well organized, clean, fully AC’d, and has some of the fastest go-​karts around. Price is a bit steep at over $ 20 per head, but at least in this location, you get a local’s discount. I recommend Pole Position if you’re in that need for speed, entertaining guest/​teens, or just looking to do something different in Las Vegas.

Pole Position Raceway is a lot better than the other indoor kart racing place but I can see some negatives. It’s little more challenging so I can see beginners complaining especially if they want it simple. Any tap on the barriers makes the course go misaligned which is pretty irritating especially when the first turn is a huge bottlenecks and the course gets real messed up there. They can slow down everyone’s all karts remotely when theirs a big spill. They are slow at fixing accidents or spinouts. Also I hate that they’ll wave that flag that tells you to let the other karts pass you, I’m driving here with my fist in the air.
Personaliy I don’t like indoor kart racing because I rather be outdoors on larger and wider courses but for what Vegas has this place is awesome. Nice, clean, well maintained, there’s ventilation and A/​C. Their equipment are in excellent condition, everything from their karts, helmets, seat belts, etc. Their prices are standard. There’s an arcade and snacks.
I like the giant screen displaying your current time and position so you can see where your at while you drive but beware don’t catch yourself starring at it, it located right where the toughest turns are.
I’d say they did almost everything right here and would be back. Great for groups.

My boys are bored, I need to get them away from the computer but it is a little late in the day for a hike and I’ve been to the gym already. I hate the gym period and twice in a day is never going to happen.
So one of my angels suggests PP. Good idea and off we go.
It is a super facility with plentiful parking and just off W. Lake Mead and 95 so super easy to find.
Inside you arrive in a huge facility with a snack bar, small counter where you check in and buy t-​shirts to show your friends what a brave racer you are and a bunch of arcade games. All good.
You sign some waivers, pay some money, 2 kids, 3 races each $ 120. Ouch.
The carts are electric power so the place is fume free, unlike when I were a lad and we drove petrol engined carts indoors, choked on fumes before walking 20 miles in the snow to school without shoes and no lunch. I digress.
The carts are fast enough and the track is long enough with plenty of twists, curves and straights to let your budding racer show you his inner Mario Andretti. Times are posted on a big screen so you can see the progress and at the end you will receive print outs to document your skills.
We saw friends who were leaving a birthday party where the kids enjoy pizza and racing, they had fun but it was $ 75 per kid so be selective on guests.
We went Sunday afternoon and it was pretty quiet. I guess that is good but after about 40 minutes we were done and I had $ 120 less.

This was one of our Bachelor Party weekend activities that I can actually write about. Initially we went to the other location which is much nearer to the strip, but they were swamped there and it would have taken 3 hours to finish our 3 races that we wanted to purchase.
Luckily and fortunately for time purposes and on our wallets we happened to be able to drive to this location. There was no wait, in fact the whole raceway belonged to us, that being a group of 7 guys. The price quote for the 3 race package at the arville location was for 70, but here it was for $ 60 which comes out to 20 per race. WORD TO THE WISE, it’s cheaper here per race.
The track was great and everything went without a hitch. The gokarts are electronically controlled and racing suits were not required. Only thing required were the provided rapist masks and helmets. We got shirts at the end of the race also.
My only warning is after racing while driving I felt like I could drift and do all kinds of crazy things, but luckily I didn’t for the safety of my fellow brothers.

Been here twice. The first time was great because the 6 of us were the only customers in there at the time. Went back today and found they were hosting two birthday parties at the same time. Waited over 20 minutes just to get noticed while standing at the counter. Then, I was told it would be at least another 30 minutes until they could get us in a race. Do not waste your time here if they are hosting any birthday parties. They only staff this place with a couple of people. There is nothing to do while you wait except play a few video games and drink from vending machines. If you pull up and there are more than 10 cars in the parking lot, don’t even bother unless you want to kill several hours.
You would think for the $ 20-​$ 25 you pay per race, these guys could pay a few more minimum wage kids to help out. Especially on the weekends! The main issue is the time it takes to go through their registration\check-in process. Then, by the time they get you to watch the safety video and put helmets on all the racers it takes them about 20 – 30 minutes per group.
The plus side is the place is clean. The track and cars are fun to race. It is indoor so you don’t have to worry about hot or cold days.
